#6 X 3/8 Hose Barb Fitting Black

The #6 X 3/8 Hose Barb Fitting Black (FRG484106-BL) by FRAGOLA is a precision adapter designed to bridge 6 AN male ports to 3/8-inch hose barb connections, making it an essential component in custom fluid delivery systems. Built for hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and cooling applications where secure, leak-free transitions are non-negotiable, this fitting serves technicians, fabricators, and motorsports enthusiasts who demand reliability under pressure. Whether you're building a custom fuel system, upgrading a cooling loop, or assembling modular hydraulic lines, this adapter provides the versatile compatibility needed to integrate different hose and port standards into a single cohesive system.

Constructed from aluminum and finished with black anodizing, the #6 X 3/8 Hose Barb Fitting Black delivers both durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The black anodized coating protects the aluminum substrate from oxidation and chemical attack while providing a professional appearance that integrates seamlessly into high-end builds. The 6 AN male thread port accepts standard JIC or AN fittings with proven pressure ratings, while the 3/8-inch hose barb end accommodates standard rubber or nylon hose secured with clamps, eliminating the need for crimped fittings and reducing assembly complexity. This straight-flow design minimizes turbulence and pressure drop, critical factors in fuel injection, cooling, and hydraulic systems where efficiency matters.

Performance enthusiasts and professional technicians gravitate toward FRAGOLA fittings for their precision engineering and consistent fit tolerances that prevent leaks and system failures. The compact 1.55 x 1 x 4-inch footprint makes this adapter ideal for tight engine bays, custom radiator plumbing, fuel cell installations, and aftermarket cooling systems where space is limited. Installation is straightforward: thread the 6 AN male end into your port using two wrenches to prevent fitting rotation, then slide your 3/8-inch hose over the barb and secure with a stainless-steel hose clamp. Compatible with both braided nylon and rubber hose, this fitting supports systems operating across a wide temperature and pressure range typical of automotive and marine applications.
